Hello everyone! Anya here today and I am happy to share some holiday shaker cards with you! Winter themed shaker cards are my favorite to make, because the filling in the shaker window reminds me of a snow. 

For the first card I used one of the 3x4 elements for a background inside the window and decorated the card with stickers adding them with pop dots to keep the decorative elements even with the shaker window. A few white dots made with Nuvo Drops always look great on acetate and also reminds me of snow floating in the air.

For the background picture inside the window of the second card, I created a scenery with stickers using adorable houses. I decorated the top of the shaker window with ornament stickers and added more stickers and some bits and pieces at the bottom, alternating height and colors. 

Always love to cover the back of the card with patterned paper. Adding a few little stickers to the background panel makes it even more fun and extra special. I really enjoyed creating these shaker cards and can't wait to make more!

Hello Simple Stories friends! Anya here today and I am happy to share a tiny mini book I created with the “Dad Life” collection. This mini book measures about 4.5x5” but has enough space for up to fifteen 3x4” photos and some space for journaling.

Each of the pages in this album are made like pockets with an opening at the top that can hold additional noted, letters, or journaling. I filled the pockets with tags at the moment, that can be used to write those special messages to dad.

I decorated each page spread with patterned paper, journaling cards and stickers, using pop dots for some of them for dimension.

This tiny little book can be used to hold some of your favorite moments about your father or it can be given as a little gift for someone else to fill it with their own memories: all they need to do is print some photos, adhere them to the photo spots and write a few notes!

Hello everyone! Anya here today and I would like to share a set of cards I created using the beautiful summer collection called “Sunshine and Blue Skies”. I absolutely adore the color scheme in this line! Makes me want to pack and go on a mini vacation somewhere.

I love making cards in sets of three or four. It also seems like a great time saver, especially if you try to keep a somewhat similar design on all of them. To create these cards I started with a white card base that measures 4.25x6.25.

Next, I covered the front panel of each card with a 4x6 piece of patterned paper or a combination of two pieces of paper, and added a piece of white cardstock on top, which gave me a perfect spot for decorations.

Finally, I created clusters of embellishments using some ephemera, chipboard pieces, stickers, fussy cut elements and enamel dots. Most of these pieces were added with foam adhesive for dimension.
